A Fresh Start: 10 Beauty Resolutions for 2016

We love the feeling a new year brings, like anything is possible. It’s why we’re extra-ambitious as soon as January arrives, and we list all our hopes and dreams for the upcoming year in the form of resolutions. Here is everything we’ve vowed to do—and trust us when we say they are totally doable:

1. Throw out old beauty products that have gone bad.
The green eyeshadow you’ve had since the fourth grade might hold sentimental value, but expired beauty products should go nowhere near your face. This will tell you which ones need to go into the bin—like, right this second.

2. Clean your makeup brushes.
Did you know that your brushes need to be cleansed with soap and water at least once a week? Well, now you do. Don’t allow bacteria fester on your good brushes—after all, no one wants that touching their face.

3. Remove your FOTD before bed.
No matter what time it is or how much you’ve had drink, never ever sleep with your makeup on. It can lead to breakouts and enlarged pores—the lived-in look isn’t as pretty you think, is it?

4. Start using anti-aging products.
We’ve told you once, but we’ll tell you again: apply moisturizer, pack on the SPF—and by all means, use an eye cream! Your skin will thank you later.

10. Smile often, and laugh a lot.
If there’s anything that can make you feel good in an instant, it’s smiling and laughing a lot. And as our girl Audrey Hepburn once said, “… Happy girls are the prettiest girls.”

REVIEWS:Love Innisfree masks over others
August 1, 2015”I think innisfree masks are higher quality than other sheet masks. They are not drenched in product (which I don’t like when the sheet mask is dripping when I take it out), and it’s not as fragile as other sheet masks. It brightens the skin slightly, and I think if you use it regularly, it’ll make a larger difference.”
